Testimonials

IVES has helped our company with mobile equipment training that has become extremely valuable to us. We've saved money and time having our trainers train the rest of our crew. Our safety performance and compliance has improved greatly. Thank you.

Trang | EHS Supervisor | Sims Recycling Solution

Hats off for the Trainer Recertification Program that has a format that brings trainers together from many types of industries and walks in life. We all have learned from sharing experiences and training techniques as well as IVES personnel listening and offering solutions/ideas to any questions, problems or changes we have in our workplace while training/recertifying our mobile equipment operators and/or keeping up with regulation or training upgrades.

Scott | Certified Trainer | S & R Sawmills

This spring at S & R Sawmills, we are going to surpass 100 certified forklift operators that have been trained and recertified in the last 10 years, using IVES materials and resources. Our mobile equipment safety record is excellent and this is in part to the knowledge and skills of our operators, as well as the training/recertification process that is made much easier using Ives materials and resources. Documentation is made easy with Operator Compliance packages and the Recertification notepads and now using my member login there are many downloads and training products available to make this job even more professional and streamlined.

We have become a safer and more compliant company with the help of IVES. I was a little nervous about the Train the Trainer program, but that was all put to rest the day the course started. The course was very rewarding to both myself and our company. I highly recommend IVES to anyone who asks how I became a trainer.

Congratulations on turning 35! My testimony is nothing but praise! I was sent out on a Train the Trainer course in Abbotsford, British Columbia so that our company would have access to an in-house trainer as we live in a remote area of the world, Haida Gwaii, British Columbia. We had compared costs and realized that having our own trainer for counterbalanced forklift operation would create substantial financial gains and being able to train at any time due to staff turnover was too great to ignore. I am also able to keep a closer eye on any safety issues that may arise as I interact and work within the association. We have become a safer and more compliant company with the help of IVES. I was a little nervous about the Train the Trainer program, but that was all put to rest the day the course started. Rob from IVES explained everything to us in class and what to expect and course material was easy to follow and Rob was excellent at training us to be trainers. The course was very rewarding to both myself and our company. I highly recommend IVES to anyone who asks how I became a trainer.

We have trained over 300 forklift operators using IVES-trained trainers. Our incidents are down, and safety observations are up as is our Forklift Drivers' awareness. One driver stated "I have been a forklift operator for 15 years and didn't know what didn't know. I now feel like I am a safer and true Forklift Operator".

Luz | Safety Training Manager | Wonderful Pistachios & Almonds

Since March of 2015 until April 1st of 2016, we have trained over 300 forklift operators using IVES-trained trainers. We developed a three-day Forklift University to put all of our drivers through, with this new training. The 3 days allowed us to use the IVES materials (Spanish & English) and evaluate each driver's good and bad safety habits during a practical training day (day 2). I like to refer to the training as mini boot camp – where, like in the military, we attempt to get rid of old bad habits and instill knowledge and new safe behaviors, as well as promote a safe driving attitude. The results have been incredible. The students have been so impressed with the materials and content, stating they have learned things they never knew as forklift operators. The Stability Triangle is a huge eye-opener, thanks to IVES. Our incidents are down, and safety observations are up as is our Forklift Drivers' awareness. One driver stated "I have been a forklift operator for 15 years and didn't know what didn't know. I now feel like I am a safer and true Forklift Operator". Thank you, IVES!

The IVES Training System has been a very valuable tool for myself as a new EHS Coordinator, and a tool that has facilitated a standardized training program for our associates. The system is simple but complete which makes facilitation of all areas easy for me, the new guy.

Tracy | EHS Coordinator | Warren Distribution

The IVES Training System has been a very valuable tool for myself as a new EHS Coordinator, and a tool that has facilitated a standardized training program for our associates. I came into my current position after a career in public safety and the fire service, so a small learning curve was anticipated. Shortly after beginning my new position, I discovered that training had been conducted by various persons through various resources. I also discovered what I would term as "blanket" training had been conducted in the past. By "blanket", I mean that associates were trained through counter balanced theory, but were operating other types of lifts without training or instruction for that specific type of lift. The IVES Training System has provided me the appropriate knowledge and resources to convey appropriate training, as well as proper records management for each specific training area. The system is simple but complete which makes facilitation of all areas easy for me, the new guy.

Working as a Safety Specialist with 14 school districts, the IVES programs give me comprehensive forklift and Aerial lift materials that meet and exceed the standards in California.

Jeremy | Safety Specialist | North Bay Schools Insurance Authority

Working as a Safety Specialist with 14 school districts, the IVES programs give me comprehensive forklift and Aerial lift materials that meet and exceed the standards in California. Being a Workers Comp. and Liability carrier for the districts, I can rest assured that the employees that are trained using the reference manuals and practical training and testing will have a great understanding of the equipment. We have not had an accident or loss from any of the districts that have received training in the last 5 years I have been with North Bay Schools.

As an HR Manager, the IVES training program makes logging and documenting training a breeze! We're grateful for IVES' support in being an OSHA approved facility. It's easy to use and provides everything you'll need to train your powered industrial truck operators.

Lisa | Human Resources | Sierra Nevada Cheese Company

We recently sent our Shipping and Receiving Manager to become recertified as an IVES Forklift Trainer. He has been using the IVES program since 1990 and it still holds up as a great program. It's easy to use and provides everything you'll need to train your powered industrial truck operators. As an HR Manager, the IVES training program makes logging and documenting training a breeze! We're grateful for IVES' support in being an OSHA approved facility. Thank you, IVES!

We are very pleased that we found IVES and are also pleased with the positive influence it has had on our operation. We are quick to encourage anyone looking for guidance to take a strong look at IVES Training.

Sam | Processing Foreman | Berberian Nut Company

Five years ago, my company was trying to get its arms around a forklift training program. After going to several less than fulfilling courses I discovered IVES and attended the 4-Day Premium Forklift Trainer Certification course. From that point forward everything changed at our facility in regard to how we trained operators. Not too long after that I was in the Aerial Lift Certification. Today our company has three trainers and every equipment training certification we offer revolves around what we learned from IVES. We even catch ourselves using ideas and lessons we learned from IVES in training programs that have nothing to do with mobile equipment. We are very pleased that we found IVES and are also pleased with the positive influence it has had on our operation. We are quick to encourage anyone looking for guidance to take a strong look at IVES Training. Thank you, IVES, for everything you do!

I have never been so impressed with a training company before. The time, effort and care that was put into training our employees does not go without notice. IVES makes sure their trainers are knowledgeable and prepared to teach all types of learners.

Ellie | Health & Safety Officer | Calaveras County

I have never been so impressed with a training company before. The time, effort and care that was put into training our employees does not go without notice. I have personally set up training for our staff to get forklift certified and loader trainer certification for myself and a colleague. IVES makes sure their trainers are knowledgeable and prepared to teach all types of learners. Our employees were impressed with the trainer and that says a lot to me. I myself was inspired by the trainer in my train the trainer course to become the best trainer I could be. He held the class's attention while making it fun and interesting. The best part is that he made the information stick. All the topics and information were explained in a way that I could never forget. I think one of the greatest gifts is confidence, and IVES gave me the confidence to know that our employees were going out into the field with the best possible knowledge to keep them safe and keep each other safe. I do not have to question the ability of my staff as operators. Thank you, IVES, for training us the right way and giving us the confidence we need!

Since I was initially put in train the trainer by my company (about 6 years ago) the value added to both my life and what I bring to the table at work is priceless. I personally have taken on a very serious approach to and focus on safety in the workplace. I believe my IVES Training was instrumental on both fronts.

Since I was initially put in train the trainer by my company (about 6 years ago) the value added to both my life and what I bring to the table at work is priceless. On February 19 I again was recertified as a trainer for another 3 years. For the most part I certify and re-certify mostly in house. The added value I mention is in the way of safety awareness. After one of my recertifications as a trainer (about three years ago) I came back to work and shared the Due Diligence Checklist with my management. This helped to propel us down a road of increased awareness of our attitude and approach to safety. Since then, we pursued becoming Core compliant with work safe B.C. and we were successful. We have attained a high mark in that area and our in-house safety committee has become more organized and effective. I personally have taken on a very serious approach to and focus on safety in the workplace. I believe my IVES Training was instrumental on both fronts. Thank you, Joe.
